Nice work! You began with far more to do on yours than mine but I get a feeling you'll overtake me soon - must get cracking!
I may be starting a new contract in the next few weeks so that will give you a chance to catch up.
What have you got to do on yours?

I'm cheating though, Scott (CHUNKY365 on here) is doing all of the hard work for me as I don't know one end of a welder from another. I'll just be doing the dressing it up again afterwards. So if I do finish first, you'll still get the award for effort!

Have you started a restoration thread?

I must get the camera out at the weekend, if you saw my car parked on the street you'd think it was mint as the exterior is spot on. Unfortunately, the previous owner seems to have slapped on a load of nice new panels over the rot underneath.

I am cutting out the passenger rear wheel arch at the moment, I have 2 Heritage ones to go in.
It is by far the bit I am dreading as there are so many spot welds to drill out. Hope yours are not like mine.

It came away from the floor pretty easily as about half the spots had missed the boot floor flange!
The outer wheel arch/rear 1/4 flange is now damaged so I have ordered 2 Magnum rear 1/4 panels which is going to be a lot quicker than trying to repair this one. It will also make removing the other side a lot easier as I will slice through the middle of the 1/4 rather than drill out all those spots.
I need to repair the boot floor and then I have 2 Heritage wheel arches to go in and the sill stiffeners.

I am really impressed with the fit of these Heritage wheel arches I don't know what other makes are like but these fit well.

I reassured her it was her car when its finished. I already have the +2 if I keep the RSP then I can't buy another car. Not sure what to get next but I have lots of time to think about it. I like the Viva my sister had for her first car 20 years ago or maybe a Fiat 500 or maybe an Imp?

Got to convince the wife I need to extend the garage rather than the kitchen first.
